If you have bleeding edge hardware, that can be a problem from time to time, but if I'm being honest, I haven't seen any real issues since the early 00's needed tweaking to work. To suggest that Windows is tweak free is disingenuous, and Apple is a walled garden that is designed to 'just work' but Apple expects their users to just buy a new device when something becomes mildly inconvenient to them.

Yeah, but you can't tell me that the levels of tweaking are the same.

For example. I have never had to go in and modify conf files for nvidia drivers on Windows to be able to run basic games. My ubuntu install? Definitely had to.
